NeuroHeir℠ Podcast: Somatic and Generational Healing Tools for Parents, Therapists, and Cycle Breakers
Did you know you inherit a nervous system shaped by the generations before you? Most of us don’t. Without realizing it, we end up repeating patterns, carrying silence, and holding burdens that were never ours to carry.
The NeuroHeir℠ Podcast is for cycle breakers…young adults, parents, and those in helping roles like teachers, coaches, healers, and therapists…who are ready to understand their nervous system through a generational lens, release what no longer serves, and consciously create the legacy they want to pass on.
This podcast will answer questions such as:
- Why does inherited trauma affect my body, not just my mind?
- How do I regulate my nervous system when I feel anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down?
- What does it really mean to “break cycles” without disowning my family?
- How can I help my kids feel safe and regulated when I’m still learning this myself
- What somatic practices can I use in real time to reset and reconnect?
Inside each episode, you’ll find nervous system education explained through a generational lens, somatic practices you can use right away (including my signature 4N framework: Notice, Name, Nurture, Navigate), research on generational trauma and resilience, and real-life stories through guest conversations and live coaching.
I’m Leanna Hunt, an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor and certified performance coach trained in somatic-based modalities. I use these approaches every day to help clients regulate their nervous systems, release inherited patterns, and reconnect with who they really are.
Subscribe today and take your first step toward becoming a NeuroHeir℠, because you may not have chosen what you inherited, but you can choose what comes next.

7. Silence, Safety, and Self-Regulation: What Our 25-Year Marriage Taught Us
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by my husband, David, for an honest conversation about what 25 years of marriage, and a whole lot of nervous-system learning, have taught us about love, communication, and repair.
We talk about how silence once showed up as protection in our relationship, what it took to find our way back to safety, and how learning to regulate ourselves has changed the way we connect.
You’ll hear us reflect on:
- How inherited patterns of silence and stress shaped our early years together
- The shift from trying to fix each other to learning to self-regulate first
- What nervous-system awareness looks like in real-life partnership and repair
- Why safety isn’t the absence of conflict — it’s the ability to come back to connection.
Every relationship is really just two nervous systems learning how to feel safe together. When we stop waiting for the other person to go first and begin regulating ourselves, we open the door for love, repair, and legacy repair to unfold in real time.
